About the Elaine Cole-Kerr:

Elaine was born and raised in Westmore, where the mountain top view of Lake Willoughby inspired her painting. Works include portraits of animals and friends and depict landscapes and sights familiar to residents of the NEK.

A self-taught, inspiring artist, Elaine enjoys working in a number of mediums including pencil, watercolor, oils and acrylics. Familiar scenes presented by the artist move from the common-place to the extraordinary. Many of her frames are designed and created by her husband, Rod Kerr. Says Cole Kerr, “My husband not only makes the beautiful frames but has helped me build my business and is very supportive.” This is a great passion that I so cherish !
Following a brief retirement from painting, Elaine returned to share her talents, creating scenes on not only canvas, but also barn board and glass. Cole Kerr was recently the featured artist at Copley Hospital Morrisville, NVRH Hospital in St. Johnsbury, WREN Gallery, Bethlehem, N H. Some of her work is also at the NEK Crafter’s Emporium in Newport, Vt. Elaine will do commissioned work of your favorite place, jus email her! Elaine also has a gallery at her residence in Greensboro, VT.

She has also exhibited in other venues in our area, including a display at Greensboro Free Library, and the Highland Center for the Arts in Greensboro.
The artist’s works call to mind painting by “Grandma Moses,” Ralph Cahoon and Martha Cahoon, whose artworks have been associated with the “primitive” school of painting.
